Recent updates of the Xtext website

In conjunction with the Eclipse M4 release of Xtext its website has been updated, too. We wanted the new features to reflect how lively the Xtext project is by just looking at the website. At the same time, they should not scare away new visitors but be informative and subtle.

In the end we came up with: Some statistics of the project activity (1), a news aggregator (2), and a condensed (53 secs) introductory screencast (3).

The Bells and Whistles

Even if Denis, Matt & Karl will provide a standard template based on the Xtext website you might want to adapt some of our additional features, too. To support you in doing so, I will summarize the underlying technology of the recently introduced features.

Writing an article like the one you have just read takes me quite an amount of my personal time.
Way too often, I invest this time in different interests and decide against another blog post.
On the other hand, you can motivate me with your feedback, your thoughts and your ideas.
